+    There are two types of crypto users: the peep who wants more privacy and
+    the libertarian. The libertarian makes life harder and worse for the peep
+    who wants more privacy. Libertarians are the ones who over all control the
+    status quo of crypto. Now you have a very good understanding of the issues
+    with crypto the blog post can just end here. You want more details dont
+    you? Ok you greedy bastard who cant use a search engine...

+  <h3>Mining</h3>
+  <p>
+    I dont think anyone ever have or ever will create a more fancy way to waste
+    computing power. These mother fuckers buy a bunch of gpus just
+    to overclock them and leave them running at full power until they melt. I
+    once heard a story about the gold miners in old times along the lines of
+    everyone wanted to make money mining gold so they bought all the gear and
+    started looking for gold. Most never found much but reguardless people kept
+    buying gear to go gold mining and because of this the people selling the
+    gear were getting rich while all the miners were just getting poorer. The
+    same happened with crypto mining. Nvidia made a hell ton off selling
+    hardware to mine coins barely anyone uses for anything practical. Sure
+    there are people who do make money mining but those are people who have the
+    money to spend an insane amount on a mining rig in some datacenter in a
+    third world country while they sip their wine in a first world country.
+    It isnt like nvidia is trying to hide it either. Just read
+    <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/26/cryptocurrencies-add-nothing-useful-to-society-nvidia-chatbots-processing-crypto-mining" target="_blank">

+  <h3>Trading</h3>
+  <p>
+    This is the main thing most people seem to think crypto is for. People
+    trading it without ever using it to buy and sell anything besides other
+    cryptocurrencies.
